Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. Typical bookings include fundraisers and fish and chip supper nights, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
Street parties and school fairs in Slade Green are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
